The Sketchbook of a Liar: I'm Traveling to Prove Everyone Wrong
In a world where a single number decides your worth, Ten was born with the lowest possible Crest.
Abandoned as a baby and raised by the city's infamous homeless madman, Old Garon, Ten grows up hearing impossible stories about dragons, mermaids, floating kingdoms, and beautiful monster girls. Everyone laughs at the old man's tales, calling him a liar.
Everyone...
Except Ten.
To him, every story is the truth.
When Garon disappears, Ten is left with nothing but a worn sketchbook, a promise to always keep smiling, and one dream:
To prove his father was never lying.
Leaving behind the only home he's ever known, Ten sets out on a journey across a world far larger than he ever imagined.
Along the way, he discovers hidden villages, mysterious companions, dangerous monsters, and forgotten places that seem to have stepped straight out of Garon's stories.
But as his strange appetite grows stronger with every passing day, Ten begins to realize that something about him is different...
And somewhere in the shadows, people are already searching for someone exactly like him.
Because some legends were never meant to disappear.
And some stories...
Were true all along.
